As God's people, with the biblical decade ‘Pe’ we have entered a new era of the Kingdom of God, which requires to be led by the Holy Spirit into a higher realm of God's government, similar to what John experienced when he saw the door in heaven opened in the realm of the Spirit (see Revelation 4:1-2).
 
Revelation 4:1-2:
1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
 
What is meant by the term era?
 
=> An era is a fixed point in time from which a series of years is reckoned. An era can also be a memorable or important date or event in the history of a thing, person, or nation. An era is a system of chronological notation computed from a given date as basis. An era is a period identified by some prominent figure or characteristic feature or stage in development. <= (note: The text set in ‘=>’ is a partial excerpt from the book ‘A Triumphant Kingdom’, page 3 by Robert Heidler & Chuck D. Pierce.)
 
This new era includes, among other things, governing in the royal reign of Jesus, which arises from the dominion rest in God's domain (see Isaiah 32:1).

Isaiah 32:1:
1 See (note: Look – a new era begins!), a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice.

Acting from the Dominion Rest of God

This rest has its seat in the facet of Jesus as King who sits at the right hand of God (see Mark 16:19).

Mark 16:19:
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.

It is our mission to seek the place of this eternal government and to responsibly act from there (see Colossians 3:1-2).

Colossians 3:1-2:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Dominion rest implies to live in the state of a higher level of faith and triumph of Christ.

The continuous 'stay' in this place of rest presupposes that a person has previously gone through different levels of personal breakthroughs (note: from the soulish to the spiritual realm) and has let go of one's own ideas.
This enables a saint to reign in Christ in challenging circumstances (see Colossians 3:1-4).
 
Dominion rest is also a stage of rest in the Father within the Sonship of Christ with the understanding that He is the ruler over all and has granted or conferred the freedom to govern with Him, so that one lives in the dimension of deep trust and peace – Shalom in the Holy Spirit.

The Spiritual Shift and the Apparent 'Loss'

We should be aware that this type of government is associated with a significant spiritual shift. This helps to move the value of time to a higher place according to God's biblical standard. As a result of this shifting, we get to a higher place within God's eternity with the authority (note: given responsibility) and identity assigned to us by God in Christ.

Here we cannot fail to first come into contact with a certain kind of 'loss' or 'decrease', because the Holy Spirit is about to lead us to the next destination in Christ.

It is in the plan of the Heavenly Father that we fill our future with the beauty He has given us, in order to walk in a new identity and greater authority as well as in a higher discernment of time.
 
The Heavenly Father is placing His ministering spirits (note: angels; see Hebrews 1:14) by our side, so that we are prevented from becoming hopeless as they help us to reach the place of new identity and greater authority in Christ.

Hebrews 1:14:
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
 
Before we enter into our new identity and greater authority in Christ, the value of time will shift to a new place, which will lead to the glory assigned by God shining and thus entering the phase of 'God's suddenlies'.

Entry into the 'Suddenlies of God'

Entering the 'suddenlies of God' is caused by the fact that you correctly understand the biblical appointed times of God in a prophetic context and go deeper into them.

This knowledge is like a rope increasing in substance and encompassing greater breakthroughs in times of spiritual warfare according to Ephesians 6:12 (see Ecclesiastes 4:12 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 16:16-17).

Ephesians 6:12:
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ecclesiastes 4:12:
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Deuteronomy 16:16-17:
16 Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread [Passover], the Festival of Weeks [Shawuot] and the Festival of Tabernacles [Sukkot]. No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.
In connection with this entering into the 'suddenlies of God', the anointing of prophets plays an important role, because they communicate the revelatory light of truth, so that the recipients are able to enter by their free will into the new identity and authority in Christ.

It is similar to the time of Kish, the father of Saul, who lost his female donkeys and sent his son Saul with his assigned servant in search of them (see 1 Samuel 9:1-3).
 
1 Samuel 9:1-3:
1 There was a Benjamite, a man of standing, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bekorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. 2 Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else. 3 Now the donkeys (note: represents the value of time – the right discernment of time) belonging to Saul’s father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.”
 
The Right Discernment of Time
 
It is very important that we develop the correct discernment of time in a biblical context and return to the Father's presence with this developed discernment.
 
The apparent 'loss' in our lives is predestined by the Father in His wisdom, so that we return to the governing presence of Him with a new identity and greater authority as well as with a greater discernment of time. It is no coincidence that the tribe of Issachar is associated with the symbol of the donkey and the discernment of times (see Genesis 49:14 i.c.w. 1 Chronicles 12:32).
 
Genesis 49:14:
14 “Issachar is a rawboned (note: strong) donkey lying down among the sheep pens.
 
1 Chronicles 12:32:
… 32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do – 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command; …
 
While Saul and his father's servant were searching, Saul wanted to return to his father after some time because he could not find the donkeys (see 1 Samuel 9:5).
 
1 Samuel 9:5:
5 When they reached the district of Zuph (note: means ‘honeycomb, overflow’ => revelation), Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”
 
But the servant at Saul's side encouraged Saul to step into the presence of the prophet Samuel to receive guidance and revelation for the future (see 1 Samuel 9:6).
 
1 Samuel 9:6:
6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take.”
 
Readiness to Invest into the Prophetic Anointing
 
Saul's encounter with Samuel resulted in Saul deciding to invest first in the prophetic anointing into the Kingdom of God, from which came guidance, greater authority, and a new identity for him.
During the encounter with the prophet Samuel, Saul got trained by him in how to get to heavenly places and to operate from there (see 1 Samuel 9:7-10.14.19-20.25-26 i.c.w. 1 Samuel 10:1).
 
1 Samuel 9:7-10.14.19-20.25-26:
7 Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?” 8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.” 9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)
10 “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let’s go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was. …
14 They went up to the town, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel, coming toward them on his way up to the high place. …
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?” …
25 After they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel talked with Saul on the roof of his house. 26 They rose about daybreak, and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way.” When Saul got ready, he and Samuel went outside together.
 
1 Samuel 10:1:
1 Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?
 
Furthermore, Saul's stay in the prophetic anointing led to the lost donkeys being found without Saul having to continue searching for them (see 1 Samuel 10:2a-b).
 
1 Samuel 10:2a-b:
2a-b When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. …
 
This means for us that if we are ready,
 
  1. to go deeper into our God-predestined promise,
  2. to get into the new understanding of time,
  3. to respect the prophetic anointing in the form of guidance,
the seemingly lost things will return to their place (see Matthew 7:7).
 
Matthew 7:7:
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
 
This maturity, which can be attained in this level as a saint (note: based on readiness/voluntary attitude of the heart), is recognized by the Father in the heavens who shows His favor – to those who humbly follow these three aspects and experience positive turnings in the form of ‘suddenlies of God’.
 
Amen and Amen.

The circumcision in Christ is, among other things, a sign that we sacrifice the lust of the flesh and proclaim that the divine command predominates over any self-glorification.
 
Exodus 4:24-26:
24 At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him.
25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said.
26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)
 
This circumcision means the circumcision of the foreskin of the heart (see Romans 2:29 i.c.w. Colossians 2:11).
 
Romans 2:29:
29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
 
Colossians 2:11:
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, …
 
Moses and the Circumcision of His Firstborn Son
 
The journey of Moses with his wife and son is an ‘attentiveness’ of God to obedience and an important reference to Jesus and the position of His bride.
 
According to the covenant of God, Moses himself was obliged to circumcise every male child who was born on the eighth day (see Genesis 17:10-12).
 
Genesis 17:10-12:
10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner – those who are not your offspring.
 
However, Moses failed to obey this commandment so that God wanted to kill him.
 
This situation shows that there is no respect of person with God (see Romans 2:11; Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 3:25; 1 Peter 1:17).
 
Romans 2:11:
11 For God does not show favoritism.
 
Ephesians 6:9:
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
 
Colossians 3:25:
25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
 
1 Peter 1:17:
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
 
Obedience and Responsibility
 
Obedience is an important part of life in the God-given calling. And it is the calling that demands responsibility and obedience from us.
 
The higher our calling is, the more the Lord demands from us (see Luke 12:48).
 
Luke 12:48:
48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
 
Therein, God clarifies that disobedience is on the same level as witchcraft. It was for example the disobedience of Saul that cost him his kingship (see 1 Samuel 15:23).
 
1 Samuel 15:23:
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”
 
God told Moses before that he would kill Pharaoh's firstborn son if he would oppose Him (see Exodus 4:22-23).
 
Exodus 4:22-23:
22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’ ”
 
Here, too, is an important link to obedience. Had Pharaoh obeyed the word of God, his first-born son would not have died.
 
The Circumcision by Zipporah
 
There is an important aspect revealed in the circumcision of the son of Moses, in which his wife Zipporah played an important role.
 
The name ‘Zipporah’ means ‘little bird’ and is an indication of the importance of the walk in the Spirit with a humble heart, in order to go secured forward in Christ with the responsibility assigned to us by God and the authority associated with it.
 
In Zipporah we can also see the importance of prophetic intercession, which ensures authority for the future in the sonship of Christ through prayer and prophetic acts according to the standard of the Word of God.
 
For it was Zipporah who circumcised her son and laid his foreskin on the shame of her husband Moses.

For this she used a sharp stone, which already pointed to Jesus Christ as a powerful, living and sharp word. Jesus Christ is the chosen cornerstone, whom the builders rejected and the two-edged sword that circumcises the foreskin of our heart (see 1 Peter 2:7 i.c.w. Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 19:13; Colossians 2:11).
 
1 Peter 2:7:
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” …
 
Hebrews 4:12:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
 
Revelation 19:13:
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
 
Colossians 2:11:
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, …
 
Blood flowed during the circumcision of Moses' first son. This is an important attribute in Moses' journey. Moses was on his way to Egypt to lead the people of Israel out of slavery.
 
The circumcision of the first-born son of Moses makes it clear that it is not enough to have a calling from God and to follow the ministry to which God has called one, but rather to first preside well over the family (note: to be faithful in the little things) and to take on the responsibility there according to the word of God.
 
Before we can fulfill any mission for humanity, it is required that we understand our own relationship with God. This means that before we are able to change the world in the assignment given to us by God, we must be fully aware of our God-given identity.
 
Applying of the Blood of Jesus
 
It is of particular importance that we apply the blood of Jesus Christ in our personal lives in order to stay protected from early withdrawal of our calling (see 1 Corinthians 11:29-30).
 
1 Corinthians 11:29-30:
29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
 
Just as in the salvation of Moses the blood of his first son flowed and thus saved the life of Moses, so the only begotten Son of God Jesus Christ saved our lives through His shed blood and the lives of those who believe in Him.
 
In the same way as Moses led the people of Israel from the slavery of Egypt into freedom, it is also our mission to lead people who are ready from the slavery of the world into the freedom of the sons of God by the blood of the Lamb of God (see Romans 8:21).
 
Romans 8:21:
… 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children (note: sons) of God.

Through the blood of Jesus we enter into the covenant with Him and thus become His bride who is bought by His blood and stands in the authority of the royal priesthood (see 1 Peter 1:18-19 i.c.w. Revelation 1:5-6).
 
1 Peter 1:18-19:
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
 
Revelation 1:5-6:
… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
 
The Circumcision of the Heart
 
It is the circumcision of our heart that leads to more knowledge and to an increase of light in us, which emanates from us through Jesus Christ (see Romans 2:29 i.c.w. Philippians 3:3).
 
Romans 2:29:
29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
 
Philippians 3:3:
3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh – …
The reason for the increase of light lies in the fact that our heart is equipped with eyes by God and the eye is the light of the body (see Luke 11:34 i.c.w. Ephesians 1:18).
 
Luke 11:34:
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy (note: generous), your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy (note: stingy), your body also is full of darkness.
 
Ephesians 1:18:
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, …
 
In the daily lives of numerous saints, the question of priority in the individual areas of life and the responsibility associated with it arises from time to time. Unfortunately, this is often dealt with and measured according to worldly standards in order to achieve an outward effect and other people’s acceptance, which is just widespread in our cultural environment.
 
Therefore, it is essential to be aware of your own belonging (note: God and His people) and to follow your own responsibility in the family (note: to be faithful in little things). And only personal circumcision of the heart enables us to take the responsibility that is entrusted to us according to God's standards, and not those in the secular and uncircumcised world.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

During a worship time at the apostolic center Holy Place I heard in my spirit the word ‘slalom’ and saw in the spirit the seven burning torches before the throne of God. I recognized a person running like a slalom from right to left around the seven burning torches before the throne of God.
 
This movement led to spiral light being created around the seven burning torches. Then I heard the LORD say, ‘Intermingle with the fire of My seven burning torches!' (see Ezekiel 1:13 i.c.w. Revelation 4:5)
 
Ezekiel 1:13:
13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.
 
Revelation 4:5:
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
 
The seven Spirits of God, in the form of the seven burning torches, are connected with the nature of the Heavenly Father, since the appearance of the seven Spirits of God, in the form of the seven seeing eyes, is connected with the sonship of God (see Revelation 4:5 i.c.w. Revelation 5:6).
 
Revelation 4:5:
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
 
Revelation 5:6:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 
The Skier and the Descent
 
After this appearance, another vision opened up, in which I saw a skier starting the descent of a slalom. I could clearly see the red light suddenly switching to a green light and the sound of the start sounding, so that the skier was driving on the snow through the gates of the slalom.
 
The Meaning of Slalom?
 
=> A Slalom (in Austria also called gate running) is the term used in several sports to describe the fast, repeated sequence of curves defined by a series of goals.
The word comes from the Norwegian ‘slalåm’. This is a compound term from the terms ‘sla’ ‘small slope or incline’ and ‘låm’ ‘drag track’, originally ‘narrow path’, so originally ‘ski track with even lowering’. <= (note: The text set in ‘=>’ is a partial excerpt from: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slalom.)
 
God's desire is that we, as saints, consciously dwell with our spiritual being in the presence of His throne room and show the readiness to be instructed by the Holy Spirit in various characteristics (note: The Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of Wisdom, Spirit of understanding, Spirit of counsel, Spirit of strength, Spirit of knowledge and Spirit of the fear of the Lord (see Isaiah 11:2).
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …
 
The consequence of this is that we clearly reveal the covenant of God and His government to the people. Here it is also of importance that we move in the revelatory teaching of the Word of God and in the presence of His glory, which goes hand in hand with the fear of the Lord.
 
Revealing the Lordship of God
 
The heart of the Heavenly Father longs for us as sons of God in Christ Jesus to make His lordship manifest on earth, and first of all we need to stay where He is in order to bring heaven from that place to earth (see Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 3:1-2 i.c.w. Matthew 6:10).
 
Ephesians 2:6:
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, …
 
Colossians 3:1-2:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
 
Matthew 6:10:
… 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
 
In addition, the Lord let me know that for us as saints there is no shortage of challenges in our daily lives. God allows these challenges because He trains us in the character of His seven-fold Spirit in order to make the fruits of the Spirit visible through us (see Galatians 5:22-23).
 
Galatians 5:22-23:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
 
In order to meet those challenges, it is required that we approach them with firm confidence in a healthy mindset according to Jeremiah 29:11 in the simplicity of Christ (note: humility and full surrender to the Father’s will) and move in the God-predestined righteousness.
 
Jeremiah 29:11:
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
 
This leads us to accelerated progress in Christ and access to new areas related to the dominion and care of the Father (see John 10:9 i.c.w. Revelation 4:2-3; John 6:10-11).
 
John 10:9:
9 I (note: Jesus Christ) am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
 
Revelation 4:2-3:
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald (note: green => pasture) encircled the throne.
 
John 6:10-11:
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass (note: green) in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
 
In all of this, there is an importance on being prepared for the ‘suddenlies’ of God in order to bring heaven to earth with our God-given competence and gift.
 
This implies, that at present there is no so-called ‘intermediate phase’ in our temporary time, instead things happen as the switching of the light signal from red to green seen in the vision.
 
We should be aware that our path is the narrow path that can only be walked with a humble heart and that leads to the center of the eternal government of the King of Kings (see Matthew 7:13-14 i.c.w. Matthew 19:24).
 
Matthew 7:13-14:
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
 
Matthew 19:24:
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich (note: a person who thinks to not be in need of anything) to enter the kingdom of God.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
